Hi! My name is Alex and I’m interning at Leibowitz for the summer. Like a lot of my colleagues, I am a Communications Design major at Syracuse University. I’m from northern New Jersey and while I’ve been to the city numerous times, it’s my first time living here. I just got back from a semester abroad in London, so I was quite anxious to be back to city living! So far, so good — I’ve been learning the layout of the city and how to get from here to there.
I started at Leibowitz last week and have already learned some valuable InDesign shortcuts (thanks Dana!) and about using a loop to see how colors were printed. Although I’ve had past “design” internships, this is my first at a design firm and it’s really great getting to see how they function.
Some more about me: I love all things design, especially architecture (Frank Lloyd Wright & Frank Gehry are among my favorites). I love to travel and have driven cross country 3 times (it’s a life goal to get to all 50 states). I’m also an animal lover — I have 6 dogs, 3 horses, and now 4 baby goats (all at one house except for one dog!).
I can already tell that this summer will be a great learning experience for me. I am anxious to see what else awaits me!
